@netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.36.0
Open-source agentic workspace for teams — where people and AI agents get work done together: agents (Claude Code, Codex, Pi), skills, shared knowledge, repeatable workflows, and deterministic verification
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is not proven malware because the dangerous actions are exposed as explicit framework operations rather than an automatic lifecycle payload. It should still warn because it can orchestrate agents, shell commands, credentials, and remote code-bearing projects.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts a workflow or inspector run, optionally with sandbox and SSH enabled.
Impact
A malicious workflow or agent prompt could act with the permissions and credentials deliberately made available to the run.
Mechanism
Agent orchestration, shell execution, and optional credential forwarding.
AI rationale
The package is not proven malware because the dangerous actions are exposed as explicit framework operations rather than an automatic lifecycle payload. It should still warn because it can orchestrate agents, shell commands, credentials, and remote code-bearing projects.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI and inspector can launch workflow runs that execute user-provided agent prompts and shell scripts.
- Sandbox runs forward configured API-key environment variables and, when the SSH option is selected, mount an SSH-agent socket and known-hosts file.
- The inspector can create, modify, and delete agent definition files under the configured project agent directory.
- Remote project support clones and refreshes Git repositories in a local cache.
- The flagged bundled assets are inspectable front-end JavaScript, including Vite and SQL/VBScript editor modules.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly.
- There is no runtime dependency on this package itself.
- The sensitive Docker forwarding path requires an invoked sandbox run and the explicit SSH option.
- No reviewed source established credential exfiltration, a covert network endpoint, or automatic consumer-project mutation.
